I don't think it's happening.
As stated, he's proven nothing. Hasn't recruited particularly well. They bought a team this year and have had success with one of the weakest schedules in all of college football. And with that, they've gotten incredibly lucky against some really bad teams. Not sure he's on anyone's radar.
Additionally, I'd love for TE to just enough success to stay in C'ville. I don't want LOLUVA trying to get a good coach.
Also professional level tools (DaVinci Resolve, Affinity, even Canva to some extent) are free or cheap so the barrier to entry is super low.
And free high quality stock video/photos are available in abundance to work/supplement with.
The industry has changed a lot in the last 5 to 10 years; it's a lot easier and cheaper to learn this stuff and to hire around it. Combine that with the advent of Video-driven social media - a lot of kids are able to teach themselves to basics of this in high school.
My roommate was one of the people making these videos 15+ years ago. He had to be taught everything from scratch. Now every kid wants to be an influencer/content creator, so a lot of them have seeker this out on their own.
They've definitely upped their game.
I see what you're saying, but I don't expect Eliott to have that much sense.
Like they say, luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
I feel like VT really did their jobs this time. They took the job very seriously, were organized in their approach, and it paid off.
Oh touche
Win or lose, i think they try to extend him anyway. They think he's the next messiah.
The smart thing to do is to win his next game vs VT (unfortunately)... get a huge contract extension due to "UVA beats VT after James Franklin hire" (vibes I presume they will put out), and let them think they're contenders for a brief moment.
Then get completely and utterly skull F'd for the next 5, 6, 7 years.
Or we beat them and they don't extend him and we see how it plays out.
Is it just me or has our video production really stepped it up lately? They must have brought in some new talent. This is a pretty sweet look in my opinion. May have to get some new merch.
I completely agree with all of this, but I also can see a situation where a team is desperate to find someone in this upcoming coaching carousel
So if he's smart, and I'm not saying he is, he might want to jump ship now when it looks like he's got it all figured out.
Oh no doubt, but we want him to stay so he can crumble the brick and mortar

Everything you've listed is why its a really good idea for him to cash in now when his stock is as high as it will be rather than deal with Franklin kicking his ass in state starting in a couple weeks when we hit Early Signing Day 1
Great way to add a little to the NIL bucket.

Don't forget they bought an all senior team.
Also, our coach kind of fell into our lap (through the hard work of a lot of people). Had Penn State not fired Franklin for boneheaded reasons, we'd still be in the same boat as everyone else.
We were prepared and pounced on the opportunity, but the opportunity existing at all benefitted us a lot
Nah, loluva bought a team and they've had the easiest schedule of P4 and needed a lot of luck to be where they are. Elliot sucks as a head whistle (great for us) as the past 3 years have proven. The run of good luck and fortunate bounces has probably bought him at least another 2 years in boohooville. Any AD with a semi pulse can see Elliot has no clue what is going on.
23 MISSOURI at 8 OKLAHOMA (OK -9.5)
DUKE at UNCHEAT (D -6.5)
SYRACUSE at 9 NOTRE DAME (ND -35.5)
16 uscW at 6 OREGON (0 -9.5)
24 TULANE at TEMPLE (2-Lane -8.5)
CALIFORNIA at STANFORD (CALI -3.5)
Not only that but we did it at a time where the early signing day is advantageous to our new coach rather than being completely and utterly screwed by it.
Shows we learned a big lesson from the Fuente to Pry transition, and a lesson we will quickly see everyone else learn in the coming years.
Again, it's about to become very difficult with VT pumping in what we are wth the coach we just hired. For Elliott, this might be a great opportunity to sell high there and continue an upward trajectory elsewhere
